Midge, are you just joking around here? Or do you really not understand ANYTHING about America and United States law?

You are seriously coming off as completly clueless. Is this how all people outside the USA act with regards to matters IN the USA? A quick jump to conclusions without understanding anything about anything, and then sticking with that conclusion no matter what anyone says?

Let me break it down for you, a little bit, if I may?

In the United States it is not illegal to be racist.
In the United States it is illegal to physically assault another person.
The white student did not physically assault the black students.
The black students physically assaulted the white student.
The black students committed a crime.

I don't know how it can be made any clearer than that.

As for reperations, that is a seperate issue. If you want to create a thread about that, another issue which you clearly know very little about, do it; don't muddy up this thread with it.

when was the last time you heard of kids getting 30 years for jumping someone?

it is reported that the victim went to the hospital and then went to a party later.

these kids should be charged with something, but if you think a 30 year sentence is justified you are just as clueless as midge.

im not on either side, i am in the middle. the bottom line is, the kids should be given a punishment that fits the crime. what has gone on so far there is outrageous and its sad if you cant see that. hopefully you just are unaware of the details.
